Rest assured, these are highly-compensated individuals. There is a CIA-spinoff agency that's been around at least since CoVid:
...It’s called CISA, [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency] and its a spinoff from the CIA. Like the CIA, it’s supposed to be protecting the US from foreign intel activity...
OK, good! Keep those nasty foreign bad guys out of our cybers and securities, and infra....yah. OK.
Well......not really 'so good.' Read the post linked here from Wauck (which quotes Brownstone Institute extensively) to find out what that bunch was actually doing.
When you do, you'll understand this:
...here we are at the end of of 2024, and look what happened in November. You might what else CISA was doing during the years that it was focused on controlling the thoughts of American citizens. One thing we now know that they weren’t doing was actually fulfilling their mandate to secure the national cyber infrastructure. We know this because CISA just backhandedly told us so, via a must read article that dissects their new CYA guide on best security practices....
Wait, what? Wasn't CISA supposed to be preventing FOREIGN INTRUSIONS into our cybers?
Sure. They took a lot of money from taxpayers for that.
But they didn't do it. Not even close. So they issued a "guidance" last October.
...First, the guidance was complex from even the cybersecurity expert’s point of view, much less the average, typical user of mobile computing and smartphones.
Second, the document did not reference any of the “Typhoon” series of Chinese intrusions that were first revealed by Microsoft in May of 2023.
And third, after years of lecturing everyone on the merits and virtues of 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) there was a sentence that belied panic.
The lead was buried in the third point of guidance: “Do not use SMS as a second factor for authentication.”
What is the real message in this seemingly prosaic, mundane, and forgettable techie release?
DHS CISA and the entire U.S. Government have been manhandled by the Chinese Typhoon series of intrusions, …
Data Centers, Routers, and Servers now have been broken into en masse. China is squatting inside of Verizon, Comcast, Google, Apple, Microsoft and all other environments …
“Do not use SMS as a second factor for authentication” is a white flag of surrender that admits the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) has created a cyber redoubt inside the ISP networks and can see that 2FA code texted to you, which means they can immediately use that 2FA code to enter your secure website – including U.S. Government Websites, or personal websites such as your banking or investments. --quoting Gateway Pundit
Oh, yah--what CISA was actually doing during/after Covid?
"Monitoring and handling" the election security of '20 (the one Trump won) and '22. You know: countering 'dis- and mis-information, using Microsoft, Google, Twitter, .....whoever....plus the "press" to do the dirty.
Well, by all means: bring in a bunch more H-1B's to fix that!!
